Welcome to Monicooksalot – A Kitchen Full of Flavor!

Hi friends! I’m Monica, and I am beyond excited to welcome you to my brand-new cooking blog, Monicooksalot!

This is the place where I’ll share my love for cooking, my family’s favorite recipes, and some delicious new creations that have become instant hits.

I grew up surrounded by the magic of food. After observation of my family creating authentic Mexican recipes—everything from homemade tamales to flavorful salsas, I had to investigate how to cook them also. Later, I was lucky enough to learn from my mother-in-law, who passed down her irresistible cookie recipes that no holiday (or ordinary day!) would be complete without. 🍪

And of course, I can’t resist creating new dishes to share with family and friends. Some of my favorite moments come from testing recipes that turn into the surprise party favorites everyone asks for—like decadent chocolate truffles or crowd-pleasing appetizers. 🎉

Here on Monicooksalot, you’ll find:
🌮 Step-by-step Mexican recipes that are perfect for family dinners or celebrations
🍪 Tried-and-true cookie recipes that you’ll bake again and again
🎉 Fun and festive dishes that are total crowd-pleasers for parties
🍫 Sweet treats like homemade truffles and desserts that make life just a little sweeter

Cooking, for me, is about more than just food—it’s about connection. It’s about gathering around the table, creating memories, and sharing love through every recipe. Whether you’re a beginner cook or a seasoned foodie, I hope this blog inspires you to try something new and have fun in the kitchen with me.

So grab your apron, pull up a chair, and let’s create something delicious together. Welcome to Monicooksalot—where every recipe is made with love, laughter, and lots of flavor! 🥘✨

With love (and a full plate),
Monica 💕
